I remember the days when I was taught "sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never break me." Being a minority, I've experienced so-called 'racism' but it's never held me from doing whatever I wanted.

I'm all for this dickbag getting fired but it seems these days it's "sticks and stones will break my bones but words... let's put some legislation around it." This concerns me.

Also, guy lost his job. Fine. Guy is now basically unemployable as his name and this incident is all over the place because people NEED to have this feeling of justice... or more accurately, vengeance. Punishment doesn't fit the "crime" here, IMO.
